Forums - Sony - PS3 WW < 150 4 1st time 2008? XB360>PS3?

If there isn't an immediate effect, there won't be a long term effect. Look at what Sony did the first week on price drop.

Man, I thought xbox would have a pretty good shot at beating PS3 this week, with price-cut and awesome bundles.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

The price cut effect will start next week, not this week.

 why is that?



PS3 cannot lose to 360 now others numbers are shown.... I also think it will stay above 150k, but not by much.



Because, if I'm not mistaken, the price cut has been effect for only 2 days this week.

 Well, there is always the Japanese number. *holds the laughter* :P

 

I think if the massive price-cut won't even do the job, after GT5P releases, Europe will look a lot like Japan.

 price cuts are usually always front loaded, so i don't think thats the case.



@Chrizum: You should know how it works (judging from number of post): first day is always the day when most sales happen. SSMB sold 874k in its first day and only a little over 0.5 mln in next 6 days in US.
I'm not saying that proportion is the same for hardware and price cuts but it's obvious that it also works in similar way that sales are highes in first day and than go down.
I'm not saying that X360 won't go up next week but price cut did take effect this week, that's why X360 is 20% up.



Can we vote for the most cryptic thread title?



It seems the mods need help with this forum.  I have zero tolerance for trolling, platform criticism (Rule 4), and poster bad-mouthing (Rule 3.4) and you will be reported.

Price cut didn't help much, 360 only has NA left and not for long Wii is catching up to total sales. Better luck next gen MS.
